Princessa's Diary: Jakarta N Bandung

Sorry for the late post..been pretty busy with everything..work,party and holidays..but mostly work..so this post is all bout my trip to Jakarta and Bandung,Indonesia..i would say its a city with massive jam..but its definitely a food paradise there..no regrets travelling there and indeed it was a tiring but good trip..

Eric,my classmate hosted me for 5 days..the family are Indonesia Chinese and the family speaks Hokkien at home..and the parents are very outgoing and friendly

didnt manage to take alot of pictures this trip because Eric was doing the job with his new DSLR

went with KLM France Airways..

magnificent view before landing at Jakarta

Day 1

once i reached Eric was waiting for me at the arrival hall..i can assure u KLIA is far better than Soekarno Hatta's airport..huge difference i would say..

we went drinking the first night..so in malls they have ppl helping u to look for parking and u just pay them 2000-3000 RP which is ard RM0.40 cents as tips

we went to Immigrant the first night..its like our KL's Luna Bar/Skybar kinda thing..

complimentary

and we were both tired so ended up going home early to get some rest..

Day 2
Went to the mall on day 2..went to watch Ipman 2 and the ticket only cost 20000rp which is ard RM6-7..then walk ard the malls..ntg great i would say so no pics for the malls..

went back home for dinner with the kids..Eric's nephew n niece..super cute and smart..

Ben10 and Barbie girl..

went to IndoChine after dinner to Chill...

one thing bout the malls n hotels in Jakarta is that ur car and u urself get scanned all the time..due to the explosion case few years back..so its pretty scary..

the couple

Day 3

its all bout food and ive gained weight like anything

Eric's mum insisted that Eric must bring me to this stall to eat the Hokkien mee cause its diff from Malaysia..and it indeed taste different and its very nice..

then we went to Plaza Indonesia..similar to our Pavillion for lunch after fetchin Stephy,Eric's gf..

Bandung is bout 130++kms from Jakarta and its bout 2 hours drive up the hill..

weather's superb that day except that it rained in the evening and causes 2 hours jam sitting in the car..
